Ingredients

For the burritos

  • 1 chicken breast
  • ½ red pepper, deseeded and sliced
  • ½ green pepper, deseeded and sliced
  • ½ can of black beans, approx. 120g, drained and rinsed
  • ½ can chopped tomatoes, approx. 200g
  • ½ microwavable Basmati rice pouch, approx. 125g
  • 100 g passata
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 1 tsp Henderson's relish
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp chilli powder
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • low-calorie cooking spray
  • 10 g Cheddar cheese, finely grated
  • 6 low-calorie soft tortilla wraps

For the guacamole

  • ½ avocado, peeled, pitted and mashed
  • 4 cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1 spring onion, finely sliced
  • 2 tbsp fat-free Greek yoghurt
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • ¼ tsp Sriracha sauce
  • handful of fresh coriander, chopped

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken breast to a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Cook on a medium heat for 20 minutes.

  2. While the chicken is cooking, make the guacamole. Add the avocado to a small mixing bowl, along with the rest of the guacamole ingredients. Stir until combined and pop in the fridge until ready to assemble the burritos.

  3. Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and set on a medium heat. Add the peppers and cook for 2 minutes until just colouring.

  4. Add the black beans and cook for a further 2 minutes until they begin to colour and start to pop. Add in the spices and cook for a minute until they become fragrant.

  5. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, passata, tomato puree, Henderson's Relish and rice and give the pan a stir. Lower the heat and let the pan simmer slowly for a few minutes.

  6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and shred with two forks. Add the chicken and lime juice to the vegetables in the pan and stir to coat the chicken.

  7. Heat the tortilla wraps in the microwave for 30 seconds, so they are easier to work with. Add a spoonful of the guacamole to the wrap and spread out a little. Top with some of the burrito mix and add some of the grated cheese.

  8. Fold the bottom of the tortilla wrap up over the filling and then fold the two sides over each other to encase the filling. You should still be able to see the filling through the top section of the burrito.

  9. Serve with your choice of accompaniment.
